Free Business Alliance

One of the largest federal kingdoms in the Northern Kingdom, the upper echelons of the country are composed of large merchant families, among which the headquarters of the Wizards' Federation is in the capital of the Merchant Alliance, Fort Esen.

Merchants are different from aristocrats, accomplished merchants are generally very open-minded, very receptive to new things, and the kingdom controlled by merchants is free, prosperous, and rich.

The capital of the Union, Isenburg is the most prosperous city in the northern continent, there is no one, it has many nicknames, such as 'City of Gold', 'Capital of Freedom', 'City of Miracles', and so on, all of which are praises.

There are many satellite cities around Isenburg, one of them, called Juno City, is located 500 kilometers west of Isenburg, and it is also very prosperous, with a permanent population of more than 300,000 people, and the main city surrounded by the city wall alone has a diameter of five kilometers.

Outside the main city, there was a large slum made of oilcloth tents, and in one corner of the slum there was a low shack in which a filthy and scruffy old beggar sat cross-legged.

"Mercy ~ mercy ~ a copper coin, right?" The old beggar was wrapped in tattered cotton wool and moldy thatch, and in front of him lay a broken bowl with several shiny copper coins engraved with the words "Freedom Alliance".

Of the nearly 100,000 people in the slums, there are at least five thousand of these old beggars, all of whom are old and weak husbands, bankrupt adventurers. When you get old, you have nowhere to go, so you are suffering here, and you can stay up one day at a time.

In short, beggars are very ordinary, very ordinary, and there are seven or eight of them on this street.

After a while, a woman in a long black dress and a black gauze hat appeared in the slum, her neat outfit out of place in this filthy place.

The beggars in the street immediately knew that a big benefactor had arrived, and the sound of begging immediately became louder.

"I'm starving, good man. Throw a copper coin down, right? ”

"For Odin's sake, give me a bite to eat, right?"

"Beautiful and noble lady, your generosity and kindness shine on me like the stars in the night, please loosen your fingers and miss a copper?"

In the midst of the voices one after another, the woman slowly walked up to the old beggar. Putting away the long skirt, careful not to get on the mud on the ground, carefully squatting down, snorting slightly, and showing a puzzled expression on his face.

"Beautiful lady, stutter, right?" The old beggar had a humble smile on his face, revealing a mouthful of black teeth that were missing his front teeth.

The woman did not speak, but stared carefully at the old beggar.

The old beggar's face was wrinkled like the bark of an old tree. His cloudy white eyes, withered grass hair and beard, and an unbearable stench all over his body, he could no longer beg.

Looking at him like this, the old beggar showed an uneasy look on his face, and said timidly: "Madam, what do you want from me?" ”

As he spoke, he put away a few coppers in the bowl. For fear of being snatched away.

The woman suddenly spoke, "Russell? ”

"What are you talking about?" The old beggar looked confused.

After looking at it like this for a long time, the woman didn't find any flaws. Give up and keep walking down the dirty streets.

Sun Ran breathed a sigh of relief, ran all the way, and finally succeeded in deceiving the female devil.

The woman in the black dress was Akana, she chased all the way, and Sun Ran ran all the way. In half a month, he ran out of the Holy Helmet Kingdom, crossed Citis, crossed Dongdes, and finally reached the Freedom Alliance. I tried all kinds of things, but I couldn't get rid of her.

The middle two fought a few times, but their strength did not recover, and Sun Ran, who could only use sixth-level magic, soon discovered that the martial arts of this demon sword saint were extremely terrifying, and he couldn't beat them!

So I had no choice but to continue to escape.

Now hiding in this slum and pretending to be a beggar is also a helpless move.

Seeing Arcana slowly walking away, Sun Ran didn't dare to take it lightly, took out the broken bowl again, and continued to shout: "Mercy ~ Pity ~ Pity me for this lonely ......"

As soon as he was halfway through the shout, a small black shadow flashed in front of him, and there was a 'dangchang' sound from the broken bowl, and a yellow and clear gold coin fell.

The glow of the gold coin was shining brightly, rolling around in the broken bowl, rolling and rolling, attracting the attention of the people on the surrounding half of the street, and the only thing left in everyone's eyes was the gold coin.

After a while, more than a dozen strong men came out and walked towards Sun Ran with bad intentions.

Sun Ran immediately picked up the source of trouble and threw it into the street, which immediately attracted a group of people to rob him.

The dark shadow flashed in front of him again, and Arcana appeared in front of him again and asked, "Old man, why did you throw away the gold coin?" ”

"You woman, femme fatale, want to kill me!" Sun Ran was indignant.

"How do you know I threw it?" Arcana smiled.

"Who else on the street can come up with this money but you? Am I a fool when you are an old man? Sun Ran has a heartbeat.

"Anyway, you old beggar is very special, it makes me unhappy, I must punish you!"

Sun Ran secretly complained, it was really a show to meet a soldier, it was unreasonable, this demon sword saint had a very keen intuition, as long as there was a little suspicion, it was a mistake to kill and not let go, and it was difficult to entangle.

"Oh, ma'am, you are good, I was wrong, you forgive me...... Scold! ”

With a sharp sound, a large number of wind blades suddenly appeared in the air, rushing towards Arcana, and a black light suddenly flashed in front of Arcana, but it was the long sword that came out of its sheath, turning into countless sword shadows in an instant. All the wind blades were slashed by her with a single blow.

Then she found that in just such a moment, the old beggar before had run out of the body for more than fifty meters, and cyan light wings appeared behind him at the same time, which was the sixth-level Great Flying Technique.

Needless to say, this must be Russell, this guy is running away again.

Arcana was angry and funny, and while catching up, she scolded: "Russell, you are a generation of magic masters, I won't talk about pretending to be an orc before, and now you are pretending to be a beggar in this ghost place, can you be more depraved?" ”

"The body is just a shell, and reputation is a burden, so what do you care so much about?" Sun Ran laughed, and in an exclamation, he spread his wings and rushed into the air, leaving the dust.

Arcana hurriedly followed, this half a month. I don't know how Lu Dao did it, the other party's big flight speed was much faster, and now, he flew only a line slower than her, and if he didn't chase closer, he was really going to escape.

The two of them rushed out of Juno City. While flying, while bickering.

"In front of it is Esenburg, the headquarters of the Wizards' Federation, if you dare to chase after it, you will be guaranteed to die without a corpse!" Sun Ran threatened.

"Are you stupid for me? I won't disguise myself into the city? I'm disguised, and those stupid magicians can spot me? When the time comes, I will assassinate them one by one and kill all the magicians of the human race! Arcana sneered.

Sun Ran was shocked, this girl really has this ability. It would be a tragedy to lure her to Esenburg, and the magicians of the Federation would have to lose at least half of them before they could kill her.

Thinking like this, Sun Ran turned a corner in the air and flew directly to the southeast: "I'm not going to Fort Esen, I'm going to the Southern Continent." The magicians there are up to you, hehe. ”

"Hmph. I'd like to see if you have what it takes to escape there. Arcana struggled to catch up, and her speed suddenly increased considerably. Closer to Sun Ran little by little.

After chasing for more than six hours, the distance was shortened to within two hundred meters, Sun Ran was already exhausted, and the excessive use of magic made him feel a splitting headache, and he had to start discussing: "Akana." I'm going to be tired, hungry and thirsty, shall we rest? ”

"Yes. We are now chasing 200 meters, and we have to rest on the ground at a distance of 200 meters. If you dare to distance yourself, I'll fight with you! Arcana was also tired and panicked.

Her physical strength is much farther than the other party, but she is not like the other party who uses magic to fly, she chases all the way, using her own strength, and the body energy consumed is not known how many times that of the other party, which causes her to be exhausted.

"Am I such a tasteless person?" Sun Ran said.

"I'm skeptical."

"To rest or not to rest?"

So the two began to fall, and when they reached the plain, still two hundred meters apart, they sat cross-legged facing each other, each took out food and water, and began to replenish their strength.

Sun Ran took a few bites and asked puzzledly: "I've been running for so long, why don't you give up." I don't understand, I have a mortal enmity with you, right? ”

This is also too tenacious, ordinary pursuit, can't you just escape once. Why has he escaped more than a dozen times, he has run tens of thousands of kilometers, and he can still be caught up by her. Sun Ran has lived for tens of thousands of years, and he has never seen this kind of unrelenting pursuit.

"No hatred." Arcana shook her head.

"What's that?"

"The Maharaja's order. If I don't catch you, my entire family will be killed. Arcana took a bite of the barbecue in her hand and stared at Sun Ran like a wolf, with an attitude of not giving up until she reached her goal.

Sun Ran was really tired of running, he now needed time to recover the damage left by the last forbidden spell, but this sword master just didn't give him time, but chased him around, his injuries were not reduced, but there was a tendency to worsen, which was really annoying.

He felt that it was not a matter to go on like this, and that he had to find a way to recover his strength in order to really get out, and after thinking about it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he had a plan, he drank a large sip of ale wine, and then discussed: "Arcana, let me ask you something, okay?" ”

"Say it."

"You say, if I take the initiative to go back with you, can you really promise not to kill me?"

"The Maharaja is thirsty, far-sighted, and open-minded, as long as you are willing to return to the dark lands with me, transform the lich, believe in Hades, and be loyal to the Maharaja, everything will not be a problem. Of course I won't kill you. Arcana said.

The Maharaja said that he wanted to bring Russell's head back to the Skull Hall because Russell refused to surrender. If he was willing to surrender, he would never mind having a body under his head.

"Transform the Lich? It's a cruel request. But...... I agreed. Sun Ran sat on the ground and spread his hands: "You come and catch me, I'm tired and don't want to run." ”

"Really?" Arcana's cheeks bulged as she munched on the roast. She didn't believe it, suspecting that this was the other party's trick again!

"Take me back to the Dark Lands. But let's say it first, I have high requirements for the quality of life, and I have to eat, drink, and sleep well along the way. ”

The change was so fast, the happiness came so suddenly, Arcana almost choked, coughed several times before saying, "Of course it's fine." I don't trust you, though, unless you can give me the staff. ”

"And then." Sun Ran threw the staff over very simply

Arcana took the staff and saw the exquisite alchemy in front of her, and she could hardly believe that it was real.

A magician who has no staff can only release second-level magic at most, even if Russell recovers his power and becomes a great magician, he can only release third-level magic, and the amount of power is directly reduced by ninety, which is no different from ordinary people for her, a sword saint.

This Russell, showed enough sincerity.

"Okay, I believe you!" Satisfied, Arcana carefully hid the priceless staff in a mote bag.

"On the way back, I didn't want to fly. I'm throwing up and tired these days. I want to live a quality aristocratic life and rest for a while. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Arcana graciously assured that it was only a small request, not excessive.

"Remember, it's aristocratic living! Don't go back then. ”

"Rest assured. As long as I say yes, I will never regret it. In the dark region, when others mention the Sword Saint Arcana, the first thing that comes to mind is the word 'heavy commitment'! "Arcana is very bold. (To be continued......)
